Paredes Middle School Has Permanently Closed

Paredes Middle School, formerly a public middle school (grades 6-8) in far-south Austin's 78748, part of Austin ISD, has permanently closed. If you are researching homes in the area, here is what the closure means for school zoning and where to look next.

Status: Permanently closed

Paredes Middle School is no longer operating. Students who would have attended have been reassigned to other Austin ISD schools, and the assignment depends on the home's address.

What this means for your home search

With Paredes closed, its former students have been reassigned to other Austin ISD middle schools, and the exact assignment now depends on the address. The area still feeds Akins High at the high-school level, but the assigned middle school can vary, so it is worth confirming for any specific home rather than assuming from the old boundaries.
